Author Description

This serial, established in 1965, continues to document the most vital developments in atomic, molecular and optical physics, including related applied areas. Subject areas covered range from studies of the fundamental properties of radiation and matter, through studies of hitherto inaccessible states of "ordinary" and exotic atoms and molecules, the control of atoms and molecules by light, the behaviour of atoms and molecules in intense radiation fields, the detailed structure of such systems (including complex molecules and molecular clusters) and a wide range of interaction phenomena among atoms, molecules and their constituent parts and fields. Topics covered are also related to applied areas such as atmospheric science, astrophysics, surface physics and laser physics.
